Excerpt from The Divine Power Exerted in a Sinner's Regeneration: Two Discourses It is admitted, on all hands, that Regeneration is one of those things which pertain to life and godliness. There can be neither where it is wanting It is admitted, also, that Regeneration is the result of the di vine power. Yet the text declares that the divine power which gives us all things, &c. - which produces Regeneration, is exerted through our knowledge of God. To deny this, is to deny the plain words of the Bible. Now knowledge, in its very nature, means an exercise of the human mind in discovering, observing, and being convinced of truth or matters of fact. He that attributes any other idea to the word, violates the established use of language. There is, then, and can be, no know ledge among men, independent and irrespective of the exercise of their own minds relative to truth or matters of fact. The doctrine therefore taught in the text is, that the divine power which conveys to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, is exerted through or by means of the truth, as it secures the knowledge of God. We select one item from the grand total, and shall consider the doc trine more especially in application to it - that is, the Regeneration of the sinner or his being born again. This is the result of the divine power; but the divine power exerted in producing it, is through our knowledge of God, or, m other words, through the truth as apprehend ed by our minds. The doctrine, then, to which we invite your atten tion is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
